Excerpt from Macbeth: The Supernatural and Technology
Tonight, we hold within our hands the power of the unseen. Devices of glass and metal stand as modern witches, revealing secrets once hidden. As Macbeth contemplates the future, he is haunted by visions, much like the spirits summoned by the witches:
'Thou seest, my gut, that I tell you yet again, I am not going to the banquet. / The table's full of spirits and illusions, / Devices of the mind, created by the unseen, / In our age, they are the screens and the wires / That whisper secrets in the dark.'
But in the past, these spirits came from the depths of the earth, summoned by chants and rituals. Now, our 'supernatural' is digital—images and voices that seem alive, yet are born of codes and algorithms. Macbeth's hallucinations echo our own virtual visions, blurring the line between reality and illusion.
